Reece Wallaces' private bike park grows and grows

Reece Wallace Whaletail Mountainbike Rampe Jump

Reece Wallace has bought a property on Vancouver Island where he lives, but which is primarily a bike park. He even rides an invitational contest there. And above all, he builds whatever the excavators and forestry machines can provide.

Few people don't like living with a building site in front of their house. Reece Wallace doesn't seem to mind. Every few months, the excavator rides up and digs up his property on Vancouver Island. In his video, he presents the current status quo, but also repeatedly shows what the construction phase looked like. Just this much: the man likes it big and massive.

It's also nice that he had a jump removed that he liked, but on which too many of his buddies fell and destroyed their bikes. Instead, there is now a gigantic whale tail (ramp in the shape of a whale's tail) in his garden.

They spent six weeks working on the wooden frame and the necessary earth shifts. This was also because the freeride pro had the ramp raised by 60 centimeters after it was already in place and had the landing hill moved three times until the jump onto the ramp and down was a perfect fit. He and his construction buddies had to redo the drainage each time. This is essential because it rains as much on Vancouver Island at certain times as it does in the tropical rainforest - which makes the whole construction process even more challenging.

But above all, Reece Wallace's latest video is about excavators, moving earth, sawing machines and carpentry, sporadically interspersed with some freeride action.
